Arsenal and West Ham United fans came together during the FA Youth Cup final to mock Tottenham Hotspur.
The Hammers’ under-18s defeated Arsenal's under-18s 5-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night to secure an emphatic victory against their arch rivals. More than 34,000 supporters were inside Arsenal's home stadium to watch the thrilling final.
Arsenal raced into an early lead thanks to a Omari Benjamin effort but goals from George Earthy, Callum Marshall and Gideon Kodua ensured the Hammers went into half-time ahead. Strikes from Kaelan Casey and Josh Briggs capped off a wonderful night for the young West Ham side.

The last time West Ham won the FA Youth Cup was back in 1999, when the likes of Joe Cole and Michael Carrick were playing for the Hammers. While Jack Wilshere will be disappointed with his side's performance, the fact his young side made it to the final is an achievement in itself.
Despite the result, there was one moment in the second half which saw both sets of supporters come together. As reported by football.london's Arsenal correspondent Kaya Kaynak, thousands of fans from both teams started charting simultaneously "stand up if you hate Tottenham". Of course, thousands of spectators stood up to show their dislike at their London rivals.
While West Ham, Arsenal and Tottenham are all rivals due to their close proximity, fans of the Hammers and Gunners will no doubt take great delight at the current situation at Spurs.
Daniel Levy sacked interim head coach Cristian Stellini following Sunday's "wholly unacceptable" performance against Newcastle, which saw the Lilywhites get smashed 6-1. Stellini, who has been replaced by Ryan Mason, was only in the job one month, following Antonio Conte's dismissal in March.
